Illidan Quest NOT Linked to Legendary Upgrades

Recommended Posts

27164-legendary-upgrades-locked-behind-i

 

Well, we've finally received word from Blizzard on the recent rumor on whether the Illidan quest chain (with its 80 Soul Fragments and all) is related to the legendary upgrade mechanic coming in 7.1.5 and Nighthold, and it was only a rumor after all!

As mentioned, it isn't clear how this all got started, but it seems that the quest being missing from the PTR was enough to trigger some speculation and the Illidan chain connection somehow became the front-runner in the rumor olympics.

Hopefully not too many players frantically did the quest line on many characters due to the rumor, but hey, at least there's some 870+ loot at the end of it if you did.

I'm kinda glad the rumor got started. I thought that little quest line was just going to drag me through tons of annoying little "go here and talk to naaru" quests. Didn't realise there was this big quest with a reward at the end.

Even if the Legendary upgrade isn't tied to this quest, it still gives me something to do.

Please don't say "it's not clear how this all got started". It all started with this huge thread on mmo-c which was reposted everywhere after that - on the official forums (and also became a big thread), then  you posted it on icy-veins too and ofcourse, it was posted on every place wow-related on the internet: other websites, Reddit, social media, youtube channels and so on. Blizz didn't bothered to reply until now, sadly. So really, how this all got started? The answer is simple, the people responsible for "how it all got started" are the people who spread the unverified/false rumors in the first place.

I meant it as it's not clear who got the idea to randomly choose the Illidan quest line as being connected to the legendary thing. It seems just random. But you are right about other sites and us reporting on it making it bigger than it was,. As for me I was basically posting about the discussion that existed, which was already getting traction in the community at the time (a lot of tweets asking about it etc). I was aware there were no firm links to prove there was a connection (but it may not have come across as such in the article and people usually tend to either just read headlines or glance over an article's text, so I take some responsibility for it as well).

I kinda saw it as one of those "even if this isn't true we should say how shit it is JUST IN CASE it might be" things.

Even though I am almost done with this, I am glad for others that they don't have to grind through this for the upgrade.  The less grinding the better.

Speaking of Legendaries though, I hope we can get some kind of catch-up for the equip limit at some point.

I'm just getting the ability to wear two in a week, it'll be a pretty painful wait for any newer 110s at this point.

Once they start adding more things that let you wear more legendaries at once, or maybe if they increased the baseline limit from 1 to 2 or something, that may help. Or at least lowering the time it takes for order hall advancements to complete :p

But you're obviously just a troll anyway, and a bad one at that.

One of my Questions is: will it cost something? Like orderhall ressources or gold? Because im running low of those sometimes...

You mean the legendary upgrade? It'll just be gathering items from Nighthold and when you have enough you complete the quest and get the item that can upgrade.

Actually, Blizz said yesterday that they will be reducing order hall research duration in 7.1.5. They didn't say by how much, but presumably it'll be at least half.

I wouldn't be able to tell the exact time, but I had roughly 5 or 6 days left on my Legends of the Wild and it was completed when I logged on just now. :p

It's truly amazing how quickly people take a tiny rumour and turn it into something that causes so much trouble!

I feel like this managed to escalate faster than even Ron Burgundy could imagine :p

      Discover everything you need to know about the War Within pre-patch event, Radiant Echoes. Learn about the activities you can participate in, the rewards up for grabs, and the expected release date for the live servers.
      When Will the War Within Pre-Patch Event Start?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19 so we expect the War Within pre-patch to hit live servers alongside this event on August 20, 2024.
      Radiant Echoes Across Azeroth
      Periodically, Azeroth's memories will bubble up in the Dustwallow March, Searing Gorge, and Dragonblight. Here, players must kill mobs to summon an echo of a powerful villain from the past.
      The Radiant Echo culminates in defeating Remembered Onyxia in Dustwallow Marsh, Remembered Firelord in Searing Gorge, and Remembered Lich King in Dragonblight.

      Based on datamining, we are more than certain that the event will be basically the same as the Worldsoul Memory Events in Khaz Algar.
      Trading Post Activities
      The following Trading Post activities are tied to Radiant Echoes.

      Spells
      We found the following spells in the game that are tied to Radiant Echoes:
      Radiant Chord - Release the Radiant Chord at a Radiant Echo allowing you to experience Azeroth's memories.. Able to perceive and interact with Radiant Echoes, experiencing Azeroth's memories. Memory of Cheated Death - The next time you would die within a Radiant Echo, you don't.. Memory of Cheated Death - The next time you die within a Radiant Echo, you won't. Lasts for 5 min and is removed when triggered. Radiant Echoes Currency
      You will be collecting Residual Memories from enemies to purchase rewards from Remembrancer Amuul <Residual Memories Vendor> in Dalaran.
      War Within Pre-Patch Event Rewards
      Remembrancer Amuul in Dalaran is selling all the rewards tied to the pre-patch event. The rewards include gear, pets, bags, and a craftabler Heirloom ring.
      Warbound Gear
      When you're thinking about subscribing to WoW around the time of the event, you will be pleased to learn that you can buy Item Level 493 (1/8 Rank) Champion gear for Radiant Memories.
      The gear carries the "Dalaran's Defender" prefix and you can find a full list of available items over on WoWDB.

      The gear available from the vendor also includes Dalaran-themed weapons.
      Trinkets
      In addition to gear, you can also buy the following trinkets from the vendor:
      Faded Ebony Scale Shriveled Ancient Tentacle Weathered Northrend Crest Bags
      Two bags can be purchased during the pre-patch event:
      Recruit's Reagent Bag (Warbound 30-slot reagent bag); Defender's Hefty Satchel (Warbound 32-slot regular bag). Battle Pets
      3 Battle Pets can be purchased from Amuul. These cost 25 Residual Memories each.
      Remembered Riverpaw Remembered Spawn Remembered Construct
      Mounts
      Two mounts can be purchased during the event:
      Remembered Golden Gryphon
      They love eagles in Stormwind and the gryphon is half eagle. This is why these creatures are a stable to air travel throughout the alliance.

      Remembered Wind Rider
      Hundreds of battles across a dozen campaigns have been fought and won on the backs of these honored creatures.

      Heirloom Ring
      Players must combine three essences (Essence of the Eastern Kingdoms, Essence of Northrend, Essence of Kalimdor) from the event's "bosses" and a Lifeless Stone Ring to create a new Heirloom Ring called Band of Radiant Echoes.
      Lifeless Stone Ring can be purchased from the pre-patch event gear vendor in Dalaran.
      Each essence requires combining 20 memories (e.g. Memory of Kalimdor) that drop from mobs during the event. These are Warbound and shared across all characters on your account. 
      Stay tuned for more details about the pre-patch event!

      We're taking a closer look at Worldsoul Memory, a new open-world event that will be part of the War Within pre-patch, and later, Khaz Algar.
      In the War Within pre-patch, the Worldsoul Memory event will take place in 3 different locations across Azeroth. Basically it's the same version as we'll see later in Khaz Algar.
      Places with Worldsoul Memories will be marked on your map, here's one in the southern Isle of Dorn.

      Before you can start the event, you must farm Radiant Echoes from mobs in the open world by combining 10 Radiant Chords.
      When you enter the area with a Worldsoul Memory, there will be this giant Azerite ball that you must interact with to begin the event.

      Subsequently, a new window will open, informing you about the event. As said above, you must deposit 1 Radiant Echo to receive the Worldsoul Memory buff for 5 minutes.

      While under the effect of Worldsoul Memory, you will enter a different phase, where you must kill mobs and elites under 5 minutes.

      These drop Coffer Key Shards that are combined into keys used in the treasure room to open Bountiful Coffers when you complete delves.

      When you complete your first Worldsoul Memory event, you will receive The First Echo and unlock even more difficulties.

      The next time you will start the event, there will be more options for you to choose from, you can:
      Spend 1 Radiant Echo again to start a Radiant Echo; Release 10 Radiant Echoes at once, increasing your rewards from this memory tenfold; Start a Radiant Discord, which is the hardest difficulty for this event and the Mythic Challenge means you will lose the  Worldsoul Memory upon death and be immediately removed from the vision, meaning you must again spend echoes to start anew.
      There are multiple Worldsoul Memory Events available in Khaz Algar and all have long timers, so if you're looking for that endless grind, you will only need a lot of Radiant Echoes.
      Rewards
      Fragments of Memories rewards the Memory Chord toy. Echoes of Danger gives you the Echochaser title.

      We have confirmation that the only way to get the World Boss mounts in Mists of Pandaria Remix is via Bronze! 
      World Bosses (Source)
      Telinastus: In Remix, yes. But don’t forget that you can go pummel those same bosses on your Dragonflight characters.
      A basic rule-of-thumb for Remix is: quests drop their original loot, but bosses do not.

      We have an almost quad-feature in the hotfixes today, as retail, Remix and Cataclysm Classic have quite a few improvements, and even Season of Discovery sneaks in with one! From trinket changes in 10.2.7 to cloak achievement and Yak Fur fixes in Remix, class adjustments and double BG honor in Cata, there's plenty to see.
       June 3 (Source)
      Dungeons and Raids
      Neltharus Fixed an issue where canceling Dragon Strike using invisibility will lead to Chargath not casting Grounding Chain. Items
      Fixed an issue where Augury of the Primal Flame would not proc certain effects such as Seal of Diurna's Chosen and Seal of Filial Duty. Fixed an issue where Tome of Unstable Power could proc from non-class spell effects such as self-damage from Vessel of Searing Shadow. Player versus Player
      Victories in Solo Shuffle now reward 5 crests (was 3) and victories in Rated 2v2 and Rated 3v3 Arenas now reward 2 crests (was 1). WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
      Mini Mana Bomb (Horde) and Theramore Tabard (Alliance) are now available from Horos at any Infinite Bazaar for players who have completed Theramore's Fall for their given faction on any Timerunner. Developers’ notes: There is no more need to complete it at exactly level 35. Fixed an issue where some steps of the Infinite Power achievements could be skipped for players. Tuft of Yak Fur, am I right? Now they stack. Cataclysm Classic
      Honor rewards from completing a random battleground or a holiday battleground have been increased by 100%. Fixed an issue with Admiral Ripsnarl's visual effect. Fixed a bug preventing the completion of the achievement Acrocalypse Now. Priest Atonement healing will now de-prioritize pets, and will only heal them if their health is very low compared to available player targets. It will treat them as if their health percentage is 50% higher when evaluating targets. Fixed an issue with Shadowy Apparitions that prevented them from being summoned under certain circumstances. Shaman Fixed a problem with Precision where it was granting an unintended additional 1/2/3% chance to hit. Season of Discovery
      Addressed an issue that caused quest "Goblin Solutions" to sneakily steal extra mines from you.
